FAH,
You needed to run that joint. Your American style would have not gone down well with the kin.

Yeah bro that place was great, i ate there every weekend for like two months straight. I actually used your place as an example last year when i went to visit my folks in hargeysa. My aunt owns this little store but gives out free stuff to all the family. I told her your situation with the restaurant and immediately she made the next family member payIf thats the case I've been there before many times when i was younger. What ever happened to it.

Thus they wern't a burden for the kitchen staff, plus they only ordered fish which was unpopular
Only Somali place I been to in DC is Nima
